Brazilian Biomes as Promising Resources of Rhodotorula Yeasts for the Biotechnological Production of Carotenoids.
Review in Chemistry & biodiversity, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Yeasts belonging to the genus Rhodotorula are capable of synthesizing carotenoids, such as β-carotene, γ-carotene, torulene, torularodine, and astaxanthin. These carotenoids have been shown to offer health benefits to humans, such as immune system strengthening and a reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases. This review systematically collected and analyzed extant literature on carotenoids of industrial interest produced by these yeasts found in Brazilian biomes (Pampa, Pantanal, Cerrado, Atlantic Forest, Caatinga, and Amazon). The most significant gaps are the absence of molecular identification of strains and the carotenoid composition. Rhodotorula mucilaginosa was found in all the biomes. The Cerrado biome had the largest number of Rhodotorula species, with seven species identified (R. glutinis, R. mucilaginosa, R. graminis, R. aurantiaca, R. lactosa, R. toruloide, and R. diabovata), followed by the Amazon biome, with four species: R. mucilaginosa, R. minuta, R. aurantiaca, and R. glutinis.
